Dr Koppel had initiated my treatment after a motor vehicle accident left me unable to work for and…read morebarely able to move. I had gone from working & going to school full-time to being unable to attend a even a single class reliable and made it impossible to work, sleep, or move normally. When numerous other physicians failed to provide relief through meds or attempted procedures and gave up; Dr Koppel developed a treatment plan and we started investigating other procedures that may help. Even though we didn't find a solution over night Dr. Koppel kept trying to find options and eventually found procedures in my neck and back which allowed enough pain relief to develop a new treatment plan and I was able to slowly return to work and school. Dr Koppel has enabled me to return to work full-time and to finish the bachelors degree that had been missing just two semesters. I've now returned to being a functional member of society thanks to Dr Koppel's expertise, experience and compassion.

I am leaving a review for Dr.Sood and Metro Pain Centers.And the other members of the team!…read moreI have been a patient of his for 3 years or so.For a chronic back pain issues. I can't say enough about everyone in the Clifton Office. First, I would like to say that the ladies at the front desk are so important to mention.They are so consistent with their professionalism and ease when it comes to scheduling and answering any insurance questions.Every single one of them will greet you with a hello and have a nice day! (For Real) Second,It is so efficient when it comes to scheduling and time management.I have never waited in the waiting area for more than 10 minutes.The waiting area is very inviting,not jammed up or dirty or smelly. Very clean,with a eye for every holiday or season. Now Dr.Sood and his team are there to provide you with the best care possible,they do not treat you like a drug addict if you are on a pain Mgmt program,which is very important,I have had doctors treat me like this and it sucks. Dr.Sood has done 3 Injections on me for the pain,The process is Top Notch,the facilities where he does them are amazing.It is a easy process. No hospitals involved! Trust me,you will not find a better facility than Dr.Sood and the Metro Pain Centers facilities. I would give them 10 stars if I could !! These days alot offices miss the big picture,which is care and ease for the patient,working to help the patient to have a better everyday life. They do that the best they can. You Have a name here not a number or what type of insurance do you have and all that other bullshit! Thank You goes to everyone I have dealt with here,I really do appreciate all of you.I felt this was the best thing I could do to give my thanks to each of you..You don't here this as much as you all should. Thank You!

I have been seeing Dr Sood over the years with mixed results. But recently he got annoyed that I…read morewent to a real SURGEON for a second opinion (isn't that MY right!). He then asked to see all of my recent reports (Xray, MRI, procedures) which I produced ASAP along with my chiropractor who has access to the other doctor's portal. Dr Sood promised to follow up with a call a few days later. That day passed, so I left another and a THIRD message for the staff to text him that I was waiting for his call; they gave me yet a second and third tele- appointment to go over the reports, resulting in nothing but radio silence. Today I emailed their "referral dept" to complain but no one seems to know what they are doing vis a vis communications between patients and the Dr. I assume two things; 1- he is pissed that I went over his head 2- and/or doesn't know HOW TO DO the alternate procedure the other doctor recommended. goodbye to a sad ending of giving him years of my business. I have since found a new Dr who is on top of things. Sort of crazy that one has to jump through so many hoops (3 doctors) to get proper care.

Because of my accident I was in need of pain management and it was very unfortunate that he was the…read moreonly provider for my HMO plan. I arrived very early to complete all of the forms and I had a very long wait before seeing him. The medical assistant finally called me and sent me to go into the room to wait for the doctor. However, after waiting for him for 15 minutes I was requested to go to a different room. After waiting another 15 minutes, one of his assistants came in to collect more detailed information about my slip and fall accident in addition to any treatments that I have received to date etc. 15 minutes after that conversation, he finally came in to communicate with me. However this wasn't a conversation. There was no Compassion or any concern to truly understand what was going on, it was more of an interrogation. He was extremely rude, arrogant and kept asking me the same questions over and over again but in different ways. As if I was going to give him a different answer or be inconsistent or be dishonest about the intensity of the pain that I am experiencing. What the hell???!! As he's interrogating me, he has the audacity to ask me why am I so upset and I'm looking at him and I'm explaining to him that I am not responding to medications because I am in pain and he keeps interrogating me! Asking why? Why? Etc. Why haven't you had an MRI? I told him that I was not referred to one. He persists, why why why why? then he's going to say what is your diagnosis? WTF? I couldn't believe he asked me what's my diagnosis as if I went to medical school to become a doctor in specializing pain management! I told him shouldn't you examine me to make that determination?????? You don't have a diagnosis so I can prescribe you any pain medication! What am I treating you for? omg!!! Then he looks at my x-ray and says he doesn't see anything and he kept on repeating that and I said: I don't care what you see, I'm in severe pain and I am telling you to look at all of the referrals that I have been given from my PCP and that I have home care, so if I'm going through all of this, what makes you think I don't have pain??? Like really! The interrogation continued and he was just so rude and so nasty, I could not believe that I was experiencing this. I grabbed all of my papers and I walked off. I could not believe it. I was in shock. Out of this world experience. I have never met a medical provider that was so utterly disgusting and heartless, it is like how dare you interrogate me as if you are the damn FBI? or the DEA? Well fortunately I was able to find another provider who accepted a letter protection from my attorney. So even though this jerk was the only provider for my insurance, I wasn't at a lost. I went to Jersey Rehab (in Belleville, NJ). I was given an appt where I was treated by the doctor. The Dr. did what he was supposed to do by examining me, he made 2 diagnoses of my injuries, provided me with prescriptions (pain meds), and referred me to an MRI provider. Not to mention the Jersey Rehab Dr. provided me with respect and compassion. Word to the wise, if you want treatment and respect, Avoid Kazimierz at all costs. He is so arrogant, rude and nasty.

Nasty staff. Knowing I had a family emergency out of state, my phone calls explaining the need for…read morea prior authorization, that I had mentioned during my appointment were left unanswered and unreturned. Additionally, the office was closed the next day as well. They will always speak behind your back in polish, knowing you cannot understand them. They are all about the $$$$. In the event you are in need of a prior authorization, good luck! When my insurance had called the office to obtain a prior authorization, because they would not return my calls, the doctor hung up the phone on the phone with insurance company, stating this was taking too much of his and his staff's time. Leaving a long term patient of six years without medication and unable to be there for my fiancé's father open heart surgery. Once obtaining records for a large fee, there were many false statements in the records. I was shocked that any medical doctor would put false statements in a patient's record. Completely unethical. If you are looking for a doctor that is actually looking out for your best interests, and not the money, I suggest you look elsewhere. In the event he is out of the office, even if it is for an emergency you will be left in the cold. I had been told there is no covering doctor and if you have an emergency, even during the day week to go to the ER. This so called doctor should retire or have his license pulled. That is no way to treat a compliant patient. I also failed to mention during my appointment he was cursing several times using the F word and in my medical records states I cursed at him. Although his staff was witness to this, they are all too afraid to speak up. Will see what will happen once they are subject to subpoena. Shall see if they lie under oath as well.
